Just in case football fans want to vote with their pocketbooks, Verizon is the sponsor of this feature causing Netflix’s announcers to ignore the game they’re supposedly calling.

His strange affection for the coal industry dates back to childhood, when Santa repeatedly left him lumps of the stuff in lieu of toys.

What’s your all-time favorite sitcom Christmas episode?

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Saw this in the store the other day. Great name.

Happy Festivus, everyone. Personally, I try to keep the spirit of my Festivus in my heart every day of the year.

Bari Weiss is going to have to put this on hold unless God is willing to do an on-camera interview.

The report Bari Weiss and the Ellisons didn’t want you to see, in a thread…

"From Dallas, Texas, the flash, apparently official, but Bari Weiss wants to wait for an on-camera confirmation from the White House ... "

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Indiana Knights would be better, with red jerseys, white collars and khaki pants.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

“And that’s the way Bari Weiss says it is…”

Edward R. Murrow’s scheduled response to Senator Joseph McCarthy will not be seen tonight. Bari Weiss has concerns.

Yes, and the “concern” is whether the administration will put its thumb on the scales to boost her boss’ attempted hostile takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.

Except for worrying about the future of bowl games, rendered irrelevant in the CFP era, I agree with this: Neutral site playoff football loses much of college football’s appeal. Miami at Ohio State? Alabama at Indiana? Yes and yes, please.

No matter how much is said, written or shown elsewhere, Brad Biggs consistently delivers the *only* Bears postgame analysis you ever need each week. (Gift link.)

Are you not entertained?

Not-at-all terrible towels.

Turner Classic Movies nails it every single year. Why can’t the Oscars?

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. (Perfect.)

I join you on this hill. I teach Calvin and Hobbes in my Baseball lit class (Calvinball as the anti-rules game). I also think it should be legal to bash in the windshields of any car with pirated Calvin-peeing-on-something stickers.

Yes, the Bears think we're stupid.

Could I be any more fed up with botched efforts to “improve” the video quality of old TV shows?

Feeling ill over whatever happened at Rob Reiner’s home.

NewsNation, Nexstar's right-wing "unbiased and neutral" news network, is now doing sponcon for Qatar

Memo to Red Zone sponsors: I am less likely to become a customer each time your ad pops up. Please stop ruining the viewing experience.

Imagine what it was like for a hobbled Patrick Mahomes to be helped back to the Chiefs locker room, only to be met by Meghan Trainor and a smirking Jake from State Farm.

The hero was Ahmed Al Ahmed, who was shot twice, suffering wounds to his arm and hand and needing to undergo surgery,

Philip Rivers looks like the way I imagine multimillionaire industrialist Leo Farnsworth appeared to the world when he quarterbacked his LA Rams In “Heaven Can Wait.”

Because of piled-up snow and ice surrounding the bus stop near my home, I had to stand in the street to catch a bus this week. Leaving the bus was a challenge too. Glad @neilsteinberg.bsky.social is shining a light on this hazard.

Sponsors and viewers can’t wait to avoid future town halls, as well!

Bovino's daddy killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which he seeks to deport immigrants.

Pretty sure all Mary Poppins did was give the Banks kids shrooms.

This story just gets worse.

This is wonderful news!

It’s perfectly fair to blame the Chiefs’ subpar season on Meghan Trainor and Jake from State Farm.

I hope that wherever Paul McCartney is, he is simply having a wonderful Christmastime.

Maybe "news" shows should administer a current events quiz to potential guests that the guests must pass before they appear. Results should be shared with viewers in any case. It's amazing how many "newsmakers" and "leaders" claim to be completely unaware about what is going on ... anywhere.

Advertising executive: We’re building a campaign for you that shows your customers to be either morons or jackasses. Allstate exec: Why not both? Advertising executive: Genius! (Chef’s kiss.) Done!

Possibly the greatest tweet of all time

What’s your favorite sitcom featuring an SNL cast member?

Annnnnd it didn’t get here until today.

Someday, perhaps, someone will explain the song “YMCA” to him.

Surprised the FIFA “peace” prize doesn’t come with a cash award.

Pretty sure Kevin Hart's outgoing voice-mail says: "Hi, this is Kevin. I can't come to the phone right now, but if you leave a message at the tone, I'll get back to you at my earliest convenience. And if this is an advertiser, I'll do it!"

Which suitor for Warner Bros. Discovery would have been good for consumers?
